HELP! GFX front lip and clear bra
my car's front bumper has a clear bra from aerotect and i want to purchase the GFX front lip. if i do get it, i will be installing the lip w/o drilling into the bumper. would installing the lip mess up the clear bra since the GFX lip has to go OVER the lower corner of the bumper where the clear bra currently protects?
i would imagine the lip, w/o being pulled in since i opted not to drill, would rub against the clear bra and eventually wear it out. that would be awful. any insight on what i should do?
i need to decide in less than 24hrs
. thanks in advance!

I had a clear bra installed almost 2 years ago, and just recently installed the front lip without drilling anything. Looks great, and everything is fine months later. Looks good man, do it.

Funny you should mention that... 
I had my bumper done in Sept 07' and installed my GFX Lip in May 08'..
Due to timing issues I had the lip clear bra installed off the car. i then installed the lip on my car over a few areas of the front bumper which already had clear bra on it.. same went with my JDM Fog frames...
For the record everything below has been "AeroTected"
(you can't even see it....!)

At that time it sounded ridiculous but the price now is even crazier.

The Super Weak USD is to blame...
I was lucky I got in when I did, in the early Spring of this year.
They are exactly OEM 4300K D2S Osram bulbs..
The actual bulbs in these JDM HID Fogs are used in the 2004-2006 LS430 Head Lights..
